Best Wi-Fi St. Louis 2006 - City of Clayton

Readers' Choice: Saint Louis Bread Co.

Clayton has offered broadband Wi-Fi at Shaw Park Aquatic Center, the Center of Clayton and the Central Business District at Central Avenue and Forsyth Boulevard for the past two years. Free. "I wish there was even more to talk about," says information technology director Wil Dieken. "Some places, like Philly and Chicago, are blanketing their entire city." True, but Clayton offers more than other Wi-Fi-enabled municipalities and coffee shops around these parts: unfettered access. Shopping, games, sex advice, porn  all of the World Wide Web's bounty, with Clayton's pristine scenery as a backdrop.
